Bike support and a new room mate.

The Start/Finish area is starting to shape up as the event approaches.

They were busy setting up the pit lanes for the solo riders.


The rain set in last night. It cleared by morning and is meant to stay away for the race.

I went for a scenic drive with George in the afternoon. This is a view over Canmore.

Here is a photo of George at a lake we visited today.
I was down at the local the Bicycle Cafe here in Canmore having my bikes checked out before the race. I meet up with Johnny Wadell who happened to be looking for a place to stay. Since we had a spare room he has joined us for the rest of our stay here in Canmore. Johnny is going for a solo only approach for the race. Should be interesting to see how it pans out for him.
Thanks to Giant i was contacted by a bike shop in Calgary (pedal head). Alexander there has agreed to look after Willo and my bikes for the race. This is fantastic and means i will sleep better now knowing the bikes will be well cared for during the race. To have them offer their time to look after our bikes is greatly appreciated and gives us extra motivation to preform.

It has been great reading your blog and seeing all the hard work you have put into your training. We'll miss you at CTS3 this weekend, but what an opportunity to race with the world's best solo riders - you're one of those riders now! Have an awesome race!!!
